Description

Use this cmdlet to remove a security scope from Configuration Manager. You can only remove custom scopes.

For more information on security scopes, see Fundamentals of role-based administration in Configuration Manager.

Note

Run Configuration Manager cmdlets from the Configuration Manager site drive, for example PS XYZ:\>. For more information, see getting started.

Examples

Example 1: Remove a security scope in a variable

The first command gets the security scope object named Scope1 and stores the object in the $Scope variable.

The second command removes the security scope stored in the variable. With the Force parameter, you're not prompted for confirmation before the cmdlet runs.

$Scope = Get-CMSecurityScope -Name "Scope1"

Remove-CMSecurityScope -InputObject $Scope -Force

-Confirm

Prompts you for confirmation before running the cmdlet.
